    Using a knife, cut around the edge of the cake base to form a ring of cake about 2 cm/0.8 in. wide, do cut all the way through! Then use a spoon to hollow out the center of ring you just made about 1 cm/1.6 in. deep. Crumble the spooned out cake into a bowl.

  • Step 4/4

    Beat whipped cream with whipped cream stabilizer, vanilla sugar, and the rest of the sugar until stiff. Fold in the rest of the chocolate shavings. Peel the bananas, cut them lengthwise in a half and drizzle them with lemon juice. Distribute the sliced bananas onto the hollowed out cake base and spread over the whipped cream. Crumble the spooned out cake pieces on top. Allow cake to cool in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
